In these five wards where only 90 labor
votes were cast, Denny gained 265 votes, and
the Democrats lost 1871; that is to say, Denny
made net gain of 452. If it were conceded
that all these labor voters were Democrats
who voted for Cottrell, which is not true
there would still remain gain Of $50 for
Denny to be accounted for, on the Sentiners
theory. It is very apparent that Mr.. Davy
drew as much from one party as the other,
and that the labor vote made little change in
the relative standing of Denny and Eden
harter. If the Sentinel would make some in
quiry as to the number of Democrats who
had become weary of party organization of
the Liquor League, by the Liquor League and
for the Liquor League, it might arrive more
nearly at the truth.

SILK culture in this country is comparative
ly new industry, yet it has reached point
of considerable importance and is much larger
than most people suppose. John Dean, of
Brooklyn, n. Y, who has given the matter
much study, recently lectured on the produc-
ton of silk and gave some interesting facts.
While China, Japan, Italy and France are
usually supposed to furnish nearly all the silk
used in the world, the fact is that America
produces an enormous quantity of it. 1t is
the third of the great textile industries Of this
country. Out of total value of silk goods
consumed of $685. 0O0. 900. the importation
amounts to only $35, 600, oo0 Cocoons were
first raised in California in 1860, and after the
war there was some interest taken in the mat
ter in the East; but the industry increased
very slowly up to about twelve years ago,
when it got firm foothold in Philadelphia
In 1880 DR.. Chamberlain, of that city, made a
suggestion that it should be made national
industry for women and children, and an
association was formed called the Woman's
Silk Culture Association, which is now firmly
established There is every reason to think
that it viii not be long until we will raise and
manufacture all our own silk and have a
surplus to export.

Hon. j. RANDOLPH TUCKER, of vir-
gnia, is a good constitutional lawyer and
close thinker. and has given the Mormon
question careful consideration. His plan for
getting rid of polygamy is to adopt "a constitu-
tional amendment making polygamy a crime
everywhere in the Union, in all the States and
Territories, and giving United States courts
jurisdiction of the crime and Congress power
to declare by law the punishment therefor
eff this amendment were adopted" says Mr.
Tucker, Utah might be admitted to the
Union at once, and polygamy could never be
revived in that State or anywhere else" Such
an amendment to the Constitution of the
United States would certainly 60 to the root
of the matter. The Mormons could only
escape it by migrating to Mexico, and that
would be good radiance.

A HIGHLY sensational story has been made
public concerning Hon. Rufus Magee, minis
ter to Norway and Sweden, through the col
umns of the New York World. The story is
based upon the assertions of servant dis
charged by Mr.. Magee, which the World says
it sent a correspondent to Stockholm to in
vestigate. The result is a long statement to
the effect that Mr.. Magee is not polished and
diplomatic in his manners; that he does not
live in such style as minister should; that
he is paid commissions by certain business
houses to whom he introduces American
patronage, and that he exacts and is paid
fees for acting as guide to tourists in
the Swedish capital. These charges are elab-
grated in the clap-trap style peculiar to the
World; the language used shows that there is
personal malice at the bottom OF the sensa-
ton. The many friends of Mr.. Magee,
among whom the Journal has always been
glad to be one, will give no credence to such
imputations upon gentleman whom they are
satisfied is far above such dishonor. They will
await the denial of Mr.. Magee and the expos
ure of the evident plot against his good name
and character.

THE I,AROR VOTE.

1t is not surprising that the Sentinel seeks
an explanation for the signal rebuke to Coy
ism at last Tuesdays election in the vote re-
ceived by Mr.. Davy. It is hard for some
people to admit that the principles which
they have cham pioned have been rejected by
the people, Our contemporary, however, will
have to construct some other theory. Its ex-
PLANTATION does not explain. 1t does not har-
monte with the returns. The most certain
method of testing the effect of the labor vote
is to examine the vote in the precincts where
it was cast. More than onethird of it was
cast in eight of the ffty-seven precincts of
the city. The vote in those precincts was as
follows:
